I have been sprinting for 2 years with Hills Athletics club in NSW. I run distances 100m through to the 800m. 800m is my pet event. I won a gold medal at Australian All schools 2007 for the 400m qualified for state finals in the 100m, 200m and the 800m. ll placing in the top five. I have never trained fulltime, I am looking for a local athletics club and or coach that trains 800m distance runners.
